There's no problem when you call them integer literals.
Except when you're pedantic as hell.

You could just ignore Bonita, as a lot of people do.  And you could stop 
necroposting.

But don't stop the pedantry about C and the C standards.  It is often 
irrelevant for practical coding, but there are plenty of situations 
where it is good to get the terminology exactly right.  Take "pedantic 
as hell" as a compliment.
